Authenticity is AI's "kryptonite".

AI is THE best brainstorming-help ever invented on Earth, period.

But the majority of users are instead using it to substitute for authenticity, so they can .. I gather there was a movie about that? "fast forward" through their lives ( or was it that "Stainless Mind" movie? .. don't care, personally: don't do movies! )

So, there's a kind of division/segregating going-on, where the ones who prefer inauthenticity & convenience are polarizing ( like your friend ) to AI, whereas others are working at limiting it, & harnessing it, using it for us, instead of using it in place of us, if you see.

Does anybody believe that AI would have produced that magical image of the olympic skating woman jumping so totally happily, on the podium?

Authenticity isn't as fakeable as appearances are, see?
